Drilling jig for dowels

This is a simple project, but essential when it comes to drilling perfect centred holes in dowels.I only needed to use my sliding miter saw to make this jig. At the bottom of the “V” is a groove See you there! the width of my miter saw blade, just to allow chips to fall away during drilling.

I made a similar type from a piece of angle iron a few decades ago. I used it off and on for years. I do have a small hole all the way through it and it is capable of being bolted to the drillpress table. If you use it a lot, might try to make a metal one for the longer life.
